OK here is my next entry for the Dusty/ Webster's Swap. This was the range I had to buy after seeing it! I loved the colours in this one!

Another photo of Leoni from another photoshoot on the holidays! We found some old swimmers at my Grandmas place and had a vintage photo shoot with Leonii and a couple of Wil's mates. I haven't quite talked them into letting me go public with those pics yet! Was so much fun though!

More of the New Dusty Release on this one, The grass clusters and the Cameo Ribbon Slide! I love everything in this release!! It is sooo yummy!!The cameo photo on this layout was taken from the Websters papers, I cut it into an oval around the cameo and stuck it to the cameo slide. ( the cameo slide was painted White then I sprayed with the sprout chalkboard ink, but I decided I didn't like the green in the end so I went over it with a red copic marker) I then coated the cameo with some glossy accents to add some more dimension.

It has been an exciting month at Dusty and this week we have a Product Swap with Webster's Pages.I got the Botanical Christmas range to work with, although I am not much of a Christmas scrapper I had fun playing with these paper and created a non Christmas layout! LOL. I also loved the All About Me range when I saw it so I had to go and buy some of those too! I am working on a layout in that range at the moment.

I love the new Dusty Attic Grasses I think they will definitely be a fave of mine! I have also used the new Single rose bud on this layout too as well as on of the nameplates #2 which is under the title and don't forget some old faves with the leaves. I would be so lost without my dusty.

I had this post all but finished earlier today but my computer froze and I lost it all!! Grrr! Don't ya just hate that!!Anyway, first off the rank is this layout created for the Colour Room! Dusty Attic is the sponsor for the Colour Room this month, and I was lucky enough to be a guest designer this week.

This is my gorgeous daughter Leonii again! I am so lucky she still lets me take photos of her! This was from a photo shoot on our last holidays, with my friend Lisa teaching me how to use my new camera! we had so much fun!

Finally I am back! It feels like forever since I was last here! So much has happened since my last post! I have gone through extreme highs and lows. Life has been tough these past few months.

My Beautiful Grandma passed away in July and I have really been struggling with grief. She was a huge inspiration in my life and was my rock! I miss her every day!

I have aslo been undergoing a lot of dental work these past couple of months and had dental surgery which has been a very painful and an emotional journey, that is still ongoing.

Then we had another painful shock last month when we lost a dear friend and her son in a car accident, You will be dearly missed Larnie! xxx

So life really has been a roller coaster of late! Hopefully the worst is behind me now and it onwards and upwards from here!

Things have been quiet on the creative front for the past few months too but I have managed to get a few things finished. Even if it did take a few weeks to finish them! lolMy mojo has been MIA too! I am just starting to get the creative urge back again now too! Starting an Art Journal has been helping too!

A trip to Perth last month was just the tonic I needed too!!! Thank you to all the Dusty Girls for helping me find that happy place and for helping me find my creative spark again too!!!! I had the best time with you Perth Girls!!!

OK Now I have lots and lots to share! So I am sorry for bombarding you with the catch ups that will be following!!!
